Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Halcyon Days

Heading down to the water's edge
A relaxing place to hang out
Forgetting my everyday cares and woes
Watching kids jump and shout

Everyone's wearing a great big smile
Laughing and skipping along
Reminding me of my halcyon days
Singing those happy songs

Cherish those spirited days of yore
With us for too short a while
Never to return except in our thoughts
So greet each day with a smile!

Carol Eastman February 19, 2013 at 1:57 PM You know the old saying... Smile and the whole world smiles with you... I'm smiling... PS. My mind hasn't stopped laughing and singing... and bouncing around... Does that mean I'm still young... Jack Ellison February 19, 2013 at 2:01 PM I've got you pegged my dear Carol... you're young at heart like me!. It's the only way to make it through! Love and hugs, Jack xoxoxox
